YES--Although Richmond does not provide a curbside pickup service there are three permitted entities that do provide this service. The following list is for informational purposes only and Richmond County DOES NOT recommend any one of these providers over the other.

All tires must be taken to the landfill location at 191 Walter Kelly Road for disposal. Tires are not accepted at any of the convenience sites. Currently there is no fee for tire disposal, however, if state funding for tire disposal is cut in the future, a fee may become necessary to offset costs.

Richmond County currently accepts paper / plastic / metal cans / glass bottles in the recycling containers located at various convenience sites throughout the county. (see chart for items accepted at each location) In addition, we accept used cooking oil, used motor oil, electronics, and scrap metal. (see chart for items accepted at each location)

The convenience sites are for "convenience". If you have a pickup load or trailer load of waste, it must be brought to the landfill location at 191 Walter Kelly rd. There will be NO fee for disposal of household trash at the landfill location!!

Richmond County has 10 strategically placed locations throughout the County to serve our citizens. (A chart with address / phone numbers and recycling materials collected at each site can be found on the Solid Waste link under the "BOX SITE COLLECTION" link.

These materials must be brought to the landfill location located at 191 Walter Kelly Rd. Convenience sites DO NOT accept this type of waste. There is no disposal fee for home owners, however, businesses will be charged a fee of $31.25 / ton for disposal. ALL debris of this type must be removed from bags when disposed of.

In order for us to accept paint, it must be dried or filled with sand / cat litter etc. We DO NOT accept liquid paint. If opened, it can leak from our trucks and cause damage to vehicles while being transported. Richmond County provides a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection day in the spring every year for these items. This usually occurs on a Saturday in April from 8-1 in the Richmond County Health Dept. parking lot, uptown Rockingham.

All sites have different schedules. Please see the chart under the Solid Waste / Recycling section for operating hours for each location. There are two schedules one for Daylight Savings time in the spring and summer (labeled "summer" schedule) and one for Daylight Savings time in the fall and winter (labeled "winter" schedule)

Please see the Powerpoint slides under the Solid Waste / Recycling section. Here you will see a breakdown of what we have collected on a yearly basis as reported to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

EVERYONE will be charged for disposal of any type of construction debris. This includes (but not limited to) ALL wood, sheetrock, siding, doors, windows, block, brick, etc. The fee for disposal is $58.50 / ton (@ .03 per pound) Also, there is $ 31.25 / ton fee for disposal of wooden pallets.

Pesticide containers from a residence may be disposed of at the Richmond County Transfer Station Facility located at 191 Walter Kelly Dr. between Rockingham and Ellerbe.
